What is the Variation, Deviation, and Compass Error of a ship's magnetic compass??

This video explains the concepts of variation, deviation, and compass error. Using examples, this video also explains how to calculate the values. The concepts of true bearing, magnetic bearing, and compass bearing are also explained.
